• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, it's Fanatics Friday on the One Leg Up Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I know I haven't done it in a while because
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the proceeds were going to LA victims and I wanted
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: that to be the main focus, which is why I
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: just linked you to the Fanatics dot com and I
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: want you to have this promo code in case, in
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: case your team wins the big game. Because that promo
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: code will actually be you be giving you discounts and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: whatnot through the Fanatics website using my ID one leg
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Up Alex, So my impact dot Com will be in
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the link below. I also want to say Fanatics Fest
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: is right around the corner. I mean it's June twentieth,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: is the first day, and you know it will not
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: only be there Eli Manning, but the Rookie of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Year Jade and Daniels. He'll be there at Fanatics Fest,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: So grab your tickets today, also at the Fanatics family
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of websites. And I do want to say before we
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: get to Nathan on Radio Row, I do want to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: say this, it was a bittersweet night, right because if
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you're a New York State, how happy are you that
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen won the MVP of the entire league. How
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: deserving of him for him to win that MVP. On
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the flip side, how bitter is it that our guy,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Eli Manning is not a first ballot Hall of Famer.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The guy won two Super Bowls and helped lead the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Giants to those two Super Bowls. His regular seasons were
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: not always great, but what makes him a Hall of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Famer to me is his grit, his heart, and he
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: willed the Giants of those wins alongside his defense, his
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: throes to Tyree and Manningham will be linked to NFL
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: history forever.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: And the man who through.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Those passes, who won those MVPs, who knocked off Tom
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Brady twice, is Eli Manning. So yes, he should be
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. And I think concern will really
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: grow if he's not a second ballot Hall of Famer.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So Canton sports writers put that Hall of Fame super
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Bowl winning champion in there officially, and Eli Manning, all right,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: let's set down to radio row, where I know that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: might have been a buzz. I asked my friend Nithan
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of the NR Hour about that. Nythan welcome to one
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: leg up with Alex Garrett today on the eve of
• 2:46

  Speaker 4: made some a lot of connections connected with Max Crosby,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: John Robinson, a bunch of people's.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Obviously, in New Orleans, the buzz is about the Hall
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of Fame. Was there a lot of panning out today?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't really I didn't. Eli Manning was there, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I don't. I didn't really know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: They didn't really talk about it, but Eli Manning was
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: there getting interviewed.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I know there's been a buzz in New York about that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: So I want to ask about Radio Row.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, Radio Row is known for the antics right,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: there's just some crazy stuff. So what's the most memorable
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: thing you've seen so far? Any wacky things you've seen
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: on Radio Row so far?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: What's it called some memorable things I've seen? Was, Oh,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: this guy he was in a wheelchair. He was part
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: of the he was in the Loots of marathon and
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: and then he was he's in a wheelchair and he
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: told me about he told us about the story. He
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: might come on the show tomorrow, my friend's show tomorrow.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: But his inspiring story, I would say that's the most memorable. Yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: and there's some some crazy stuff. And uh Sabrina Iieschoo
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: made an appearance actually from the Liberty She was there.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: So you never know what these type of events. You
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: can get people players from different sports to show up,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: which is amazing.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I got the chance to interview Kevin
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Harland when I was on Radio Row eleven years ago,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So you're right, you never know who pops up over there.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Any former Super Bowl winners that you've seen. I know
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Michael Strahan was down there today. I was able to.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: So the funny thing is the most most of the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: people that had I had on my show a few
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: years back was there today, so I got to catch
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: up with them, the players that I know, the former
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: players that I know, like for example, of Brad Hawkins
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I caught up with and a couple other people, so
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Ceedee Johnson. So it's it's been it's been a great
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: first day and I'm really excited for tomorrow. So looking
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: forward to it. And like I said, uh, what a
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: what a great way to make connections and network too.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And our media.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I know you're going to post a lot of content,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: so uh, you know, it's much to be exciting to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: get these interviews. The other hot topic that I got
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to ask you about is, as you know, we cover
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of news as well, and the first president
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: ever to attend to Bowl will be Donald Trump.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Is there any buzz about his appearance at this.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Nobody nobody talking about Donald Trump yet.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a big story that he's going to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: be there, So I'm sure it'll make it a way.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I saw a few clips as well. When you go
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to the media day, they asked some crazy questions. Did
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you catch any of that? Did you catch any of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the media day or or was that I stayed?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I say at the past, they got for me was
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: only for the day pass, so I think I just
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: stayed at the radio, whole radio road for the whole time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Are you noticing the the talent pool is opening up, right?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So it's not just the typical traditional radio folks. There
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: are podcasters. Tell us about the demographic if you will.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It's change, hasn't it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, it definitely has changed a lot, and with the diversity,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: diversity at all, and definitely because everybody from different.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Regions and all over there too. So well, I was.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Gonna say, you are an independent journalist, So how important
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: is that to have that independent voice because we talk
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: about it all the time. The mainstream media doesn't do
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: enough justice to the stories that are out there. So
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure opening this to the independent journalists will make
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a difference in the coverage of the Super Bowl.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I love it.
• 6:45
